Optus has increased the data allowance on several of its Naked, bundle and Fusion broadband plans for both existing and new customers in time for Christmas.

The extra data applies to the 170GB bundles and Naked deal, 'yes' Fusion 99, 'yes' Fusion 109 and 'yes' Fusion 129. The biggest plan, 'yes' Fusion 129, is now a massive 1,000GB.

Customers on these plans will receive the extra data automatically from December 1, while new customers or those on other plans can give Optus a call on 1300 137 897.

Data usage allowance will change from 85GB/85GB to 250GB/250GB, 500GB in total. Exceeding the peak or total monthly data allowance will result in a shaping to 64kbps until the end of the billing month.
